As a great follow-up to the independence day Beatrice has found a new Estonian friend - Leenu, who is also 7 years old and also a trilingual kid. If I would walk into her on the street I would suspect this is an Estonian girl - so strong genes from her curly blond blue-eyed mother. The girls had a first play date and clicked very well. I listened quietly behind Beatrice's door and yes indeed they did speak Estonian! Now we are looking forward to a theatre morning next weekend. 

We had a busy weekend with theatre, taekwondo, play at Ikea, shoe shopping, play at friend's house, concert in the park and dinner at an Italian. Theatre was great for the boys but probably a bit boring for Beatrice already, not as much story lines and action as Toothfairy and also quite short. The boys enjoyed burping jokes of the Bear and Chicken. They are still puzzled why the tooth fairy didn't come this time though. (Well she did come to our house Sunday night, as Beatrice has lost her other front tooth and has a huge hole now!)

On Sunday after a play day we went to the Botanical gardens for a concert. Only managed to listen to the first part which was an australian folk group. Interesting instruments - all made from gourds (pumpkins). And the feeling was a bit like Viljandi folk - so Beatrice and me enjoyed it. Was good for Robert to get out a bit as well, he could finish a little earlier at work and join us in the park. Afterwards tryed an italian restaurant that Leenu's italian dad recommended as serving the best pizza anywhere outside of Italy. And so right he was! And as we didn't break any glasses or caused any other damage this time we will definitely be going back.

Our kitchen has turned into a hunting ground recently. There have been visits from a rat to our fruit basket and even after the neighbors caught a rather large one, there must have been one more. I have borrowed their massive trap but no luck so far. Only today a poor gecko got stuck in the sticky trap and I feel so bad because he was my favorite one. Used to live behind the coolbox and make me jump every time I moved the box. I tryed to get him out but the sticky stuff is so strong that I could't save him.
